It looks like only seidio will have the waterproof/drop proof option for the note 3. The otterbox defender is all they have, no life proof, I had a great seidio case for the HTC (which I removed and well, a few weeks later it committed suicide. .......The reviews on the OBEX for the Galaxy are good. The defender is my fallback. The issue with a waterproof case is the s-pen. They say they are making it and it will be interesting to see how it works.

I had the original note and loved it. I currently have the Lg G2, which you said you won't buy. I've had the life proof case and the outer box water/dirt proof. The life proof case was UGLY and felt horrible in the hands. The otterbox added a lot of size, but worked wonderfully and felt so much better with no sound interference.

Oh, I have been using (and guess I will continue to use) handcent SMS. The only issue with group texts is I have to check mobile each time each person (if I have a landline put in) but ...it does not require everyone to be on the same app.

No - and I just found out the case is not available YET but it is in development and being put on wish lists, even though the Galaxy models are out. An otterbox is already out. So for the time being it is zip lock in the rain and a cheap silicone protector.

Lifeproof is not available for this phone

Just wanted to comment on the Lifeproof cases...

My husband and I both work outdoors and the case is really great at keeping dirt and water out. However, I really like listening to music and the sound quality is pretty crummy. He says a lot of people say he sounds like he's down in a barrel.
He also has a harder time hearing people.

I'm sure it is the "nature of the beast" and there is a trade off of sound quality for being water proof. I imagine all the truly shock proof and water proof cases are like this.

I know what kind of environment you work your dog in, so keeping water out is probably a priority.

So here is another question on data usage. My company recently switched over to Office 365 (before it was only Blackberry and Iphone that could have emails 'pushed' to them). I have been occasionally checking emails on web view when I am out of the office but it would be nice to have an alert.

So Office 365 would be good for me. However, if I don't OPEN the attachments, am I still paying for them as data? That is same in general for emails...?
